Truck Lab & Utility Van

Adam L. Gray

I'm celebrating a bit here since the work on my first published title finally got off the NDA. Well, I don't work directly for the company, but freelanced for them, indirectly...

Either way, it's not much, but wanted to get it up here. I should probably also mention that, while it's mainly my work, Alan van Ryzin which were my art lead for the project had a couple of pokes at the texture files.

And as for the models, they're basically a modified version of a base mesh I were given.

Utility Van, uses a mask to add car paint. Not sure what the final result would look like in-game, but prolly something along the lines of the second image here:

All rendered in marmoset,
Cheerios!

Those truck lab textures rock dude. Nice job!

Looking good, but the normals could be bumped up a tad as it seems a bit flat at the moment.

Adam L. Gray

Thanks guys. And aye, the normals are looking a bit weak here indeed, if hardly showing at all, lol.

I had a bit of trouble setting it up properly in marmoset, and the specular turned out all weird, despite the fact that I had a gloss map in the alpha channel. So that's king of killing it a bit I guess.

Oh, and dammit, I forgot to mention. I didn't do all the texture work on the van. The wheels, undercarriage and some parts use a 'common' texture that they use on all vehicles in the game, so these parts of the texture were not done by me.

Cheers!

Try saving the normals as a different file type. I had to do that when my normals looked weak in Marmoset.

Great textures

Adam L. Gray

Oh, which format did you use?

Perhaps dds would do the trick.. gonna give it a try later and see if it does any difference. Thanks!

Cheers

Serp

Can't really remember. But if you remove all the textures in marmoset but the normals, then you can see if it's working or not.

Try psd, maybe I did that.

damn..that looks nice man I love your textures

hey dude great work !
i'm remember seeing a few a these a year ago :P

Adam L. Gray

Hmm, I gave it a try, but there was no difference really. The normals themselves are fine though, I think, as mentioned, it's the way Marmoset is rendering my specular maps that let's it down a bit

So it'll do as is for now really!

And hey Mistry! And yeah, I remember you working on that tank and whatnot, when are we gonna see your stuff?

Cheers

Rico

Awesome stuff man, really dig it!

Cool work dude. Through what company/who did you do this stuff? Every single time somebody posts Homefront stuff I keep thinking damnit wish I'd worked on that too...

Adam L. Gray

Thanks m8, it was through Art Bully Productions. So my boss so to speak would've been Marcus Dublin.

Aye, it was a very fun project really.. made me wonder why I haven't worked with this art-style before! I mean, I've always endorsed grunge, right? *rollseyes*

And as mentioned earlier, it's supposed to be really clean, so no grunge

What's up with people and grunge these days, seriously?

Just thought I'd bump in and second what apple said. And add to it that the grunge in the metal is a bit too strong.

Hmm, I think there's a bit too much grunge in there really.

when I looked earlier it was just some grunge with big white text on it.

Personally, I think the huge amount of grunge ruins it

*cough*

Cheers

Your textures look perfect, mind giving a quick insight as to how you did that top buildings base metal, was it photo source or hand done? It looks amazing.

Good job!

Adam L. Gray

Thanks Snow, the base for it was more or less just a flat colour with some photo overlays. Then add a lot of photo-sourced grunge on top and there ya go

I'm afraid that I'm not allowed to show the flats or anything other than the completed model. So not sure if I can go much more into detail than that.

Cheers!

snow

Hey no problem, appeciate the response thanks again .

I loved the graphics of Homefront, but the game itself was awful, especially the weapons handling and characteristics.
